Multi-Bistatic Radar for Resident Space Objects Feature Estimation

Abstract

The amount of space debris orbiting the Earth has seen a dramatic grow through the recent years. Its rising population increases the potential danger to space missions. At present time, it is urgent to gain as much information as possible in order to characterize this environment. The classification in term of size and angular speed plays an important role in the process of assessing space debris threat and improving the overall knowledge of the objects that occupy the space around the Earth. This paper proposes an innovative technique for Resident Space Objects (RSOs) feature estimation by using multi-bistatic radar.
